A tie between my AIDS/Emerging Diseases class ('cause I'm a big Bio nerd), and my study of sexualities class ('cause it really is an interesting topic to explore society's views of different sexualities and how and why they formed, etc).

We had a really great guest speaker in my Bio class - a woman came and told us about her experience with getting HIV and living with it for 16 years. She contracted it in 1985 from her husband, who had contracted it years earlier from drug experimentation...she was pregnant when she found out, and she lost her husband and her daughter to AIDS within two years of each other. I started crying while she was speaking and I had to go give her a hug and thank her after class, it was all I thought about for the rest of the day. She was an amazing inspiration.
